Trudi Dyer, Creative/Arts Director

I have had a multitude of various jobs – all of which gave me valuable experience toward being a retreat facilitator (of course, I didn’t know it at the time!). But a person cannot be defined by what they have previously done, or what positions they held in their life. Hence, I prefer to constantly remind myself that I am simply in THIS moment… so what am I doing now?

These days, as Creative/Arts Director (and part Owner of Heartland), I enjoy the uplifting expression of art, sculpture, music and dance.

These are the ways I have healed my own heart many times throughout my life. And these are the ways I choose to share with others. Very little dialogue is necessary (although naturally I share with you techniques which more easily bring your latent talents to the fore!).

Canvas, paper, board, clay, stone, nature, crystal bowls, chakra dances, drums, pipes, mantras – I encourage you to express the awesome being within you which yearns for the fulfilment of expression!

And I gently offer you my understandings…. The simple expression of my heart to yours - and your heart to your family, your friends and the adventures of your future!

Simple.

Kelley, House Manager

After three visits to Heartland (and six months squeezed in the middle helping out at an orphanage in northern India) Kelley thought she might just as well move in – so she did!

Now she manages our quality control – everything from the commercial laundering of bedsheets to the quality of yoghurt being purchased in the kitchen!

When not around the Main House you’ll probably find Kelley weeding a garden or dancing in the Temple!

Above all, Kelley loves to make sure that every guest has everything they need - and she does so with a smile shining from her eyes and love pouring radiantly from her heart.

With Kelley on hand you can be sure everything will be fine. Kelley says: “There’s nothing more rewarding that joyfully helping another to get the most from the moment.

That might mean giving them a fresh towel or a fresh lotus flower. It’s really all the same thing….”
 

Viv, Catering Guru

Viv, our very slim Catering Guru suggests you never trust a skinny cook – except Viv, of course!

Viv is passionate about great food – and has a passion for healthy food, too. Everyone seems to applaud the dishes she prepares with seemingly nonchalant ease.

Many guests ask for our recipe book – but we don’t have one…..yet! We’re still working on it!

If Viv wasn’t so busy creating in the kitchen we’d probably have it by now!

With over seventy different creative salads alone lovingly prepared across the seasons , it may be a while before she finds time!

In the meantime, her advice is as crisp and tasty as her food – “my most important ingredient is Love. I use it liberally throughout the preparation and cooking processes – and then sprinkle it even more liberally through the finished creation!

I recommend only the freshest, natural, organic Love, of course!”.

Kylie, Millie and Simonne – Therapists

Simonne

Millie is a fully qualified professional Remedial Therapist who supports our guests with her finely attuned massage techniques. No matter how difficult your condition may be, Millie is sure to be able to assist you.

Simonne offers a most relaxing and healing massage. She also offers our clients both Reflexology and Reiki.

Kylie is Heartland’s resident Naturopath; and as such can ably assist you using skills that range from homeopathy and iridology to herbs and essences. She is also a fully qualified Reiki Master. Kylie supports many Heartland clients with dietary assistance as well as classical naturopathic remedies and healing techniques.

Other therapists may be available at the time of your visit – please enquire when booking.

Will, Hospitality Director

Will the dog is the resident group activities organiser who delights in taking guests on long walks!

He is always ready with a smile (yes… it is a smile!) and prefers to lay outside the Temple in the hope that at least a few guests will pat him on their way out!

He is also very aware of who needs him – and he will sit next to guests in the garden who may need that little “extra” TLC.

He has no preferences and holds no judgements – he just loves everyone who comes to Heartland. He is our number 1 welcoming committee!
 

Yoshoda, Pastures Maintenance Team

Yoshoda is the white & grey donkey and her offspring Mani was born at Easter 2009.

Patty is the oldest donkey & Aggie is the most timid.

The donkeys have a very important role here at Heartland, as they are the ones who eat the grass! They’re always happy to oblige you if you are holding a carrot or a banana and always love that little extra bit of attention (don’t we all!).

Our donkeys are a constant reminder that love heals all (Aggie has recently healed from a serious eye cancer through the loving attention of many of the guests!)
